The amount of water which a tree pumps out of the ground for its own use is simply enormous. The bot anist Scott declares that a birch tree draws its own weight of water in a single spring. All this huge amount of fluid rises to the leaves and is given off by them into the air. Some trees grow at a most aston ishing pace. The bamboo holds the record. Even in an English hot house a bamboo has been watched to grow at the rate of nearly a quarter of an inch an hour. In the West Indies a shoot has been measur ed to grow two feet in twenty-four hours. Everyone must have noticed how a growing tree will burst a stone or brick wall however well mortared. An ash trunk has been known to raise a boulder weighing three quarters of a ton. The strength of trees having hard, woody trunks is not so wonderful; what is surprising is the force which a soft vegetable can exert during its period of growth. An experiment was made with a vegetable marrow. When the fruit was eighteen days old and twenty seven inches in circumference, a ever was fixed over it with pads to prevent the rind of the fruit being damaged. Then weights were at tached to the free end of the lever, and the power of the melon was measured by the weight which it if ted. Two days after the lever was fixed the melon was lifting sixty pounds and its strength increased rapidly from day to day until, upon the nineteenth day after the fruit was harnessed, it was lifting two tons and a quarter. Even such humble growths as the fungi can and do exercise a Samson- ike strength. The ordinary cellar fungus will lift large slabs of stone flooring, and has been known to burst through an inch of solid asphalt. The record in fungus growth i3 held by the giant puff-ball, the lycoper- don, which, from a seed so small as to be invisible to the naked eye, reaches the size of a good big pump kin in a single night. A full-growth lycoperdon contains, it is estimated, 96,000,000,000 cells, and sometimes grows at the rate of 50,000,000 cells a minute. A peculiar and little known fact is that plants, when in full growth, are much warmer than the surrounding air. Stalks of growing bananas are sometimes as much as ten degrees warmer than the air, and a germi nating cocoanut showed a tempera ture of . eighty-three degrees when the soil in which it was planted was at only fifty-seven degrees. Here we have the warmth of life, just as in animals. NAPOLEON'S OLD COAT. Garment For Wbicb He bad a Sort cf Superstitious Reverence. (London P. T. O.) At the 13 Vendemiaire Napoleon was in such a state of poverty that his clothes were all torn and he did not own a sword. He had to borrow one, and the day following his suc cess he had to get a quantity of cloth from the state to have a suit able uniform made. From this mo ment, however, he paid great atten tion to his toilet and took a certain pride in richly decorated clothes. At Marengo he wore a uniform covered with gold embroidery, a un iform to which he attached a sort of superstitious reverence. When he went to Milan, for instance, to be crowned king of Italy he attended a review on the field of battle in the old fashioned and much tarnished suit he had worn on the memorable 18th of June, 1800. He never parted with this old coat. He brought it with him to St. Helena, and when he was dead his companions put it over him. When Napoleon became consul he still took great care of his toilet, but he affected simplicity all the more, as he wished his generals and suit to be gorgeous in gold uniforms and plumed helmets. It was then he took to wearing the gray redingote and the hat which, as well as the uniform, has been decreed to the Empress Eu genia. At first the hat was low crowned with a wide border, but little by little it got higher and high er until it became the hat every one knows. The hat was of long hairy felt, what hatters called "castor franchise," and it had a lining of grayish green silk. Napoleon wore his hats for a long time and sent them to be repaired again and again. REUNION AFTER 25 YEARS. Brothers Meet In Hhspital, Wbere Each Went With an Injury. (Selected.) Philadelphia Pa Seperated for 25 years, during which time they had not even seen a picture of each other, two brothers both seeking treatment at St. Mary's Hospital, had an affec tionate reunion. William Reuter, who is 52 years old and lives at Hope and Dauphin streets, sustained an in jury to his hand while at work at a rriachime shop a few days ago, and when his sufferings did not cease he went to the hospital for treatment. As his hand was being dressed, a man who gave his name as Samuel Reuter, 39 years old, of New York, entered the hospital and asked to have his foot, -which he injured in stepping from a Girrad evenue car, receive the attention of the surgeon. "That man over there must be a relative. His name is the same," suggested an orderly to the New Yorker. Samuel Reuter recognized in William Reuter, who so strongly resembled his father, his long-lost brother. They went home together to William Reuter's house for the celebration of the reunion. According to the stories told by the two men they had lived in Bos ton, and the younger left home to travel with a circus, visiting princLr pal cities in this and othec'Counlries. The family removed to this city and were never reunited. Samuel came to this city last week to play an en gagement with a stock company at a Kinsington playhouse, not know ing that his brother lived in this city. . Sunday Morn. Disastrous Fire at Keiford. Stomai-h troubles, Heart and Kid ney ailments, can be quickly corrected with a prescription known to druggists everywhere as Dr. Shoop' s Restorative. The prompt and surprising relief which this remedy immediately brings is en tirely due to its Restorative action upon the controlling nerves of the Stomach etc. A weak stomach causing dyspep sia, a weak Heart with palpitation or intermittent pulse, always means weak Stomach nerves or weak Heart nerves. Strengthen these inside or controlling nerves with Dr. Snoop's Restorative and sec how quickly these ailments dis appear. Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis., will mail sample free. Write for them.

Brown were comsumed by fire on Wednes day night last week. Also the post office building immediately west of the store was consumed. All the Post Office fixtures, property, and mail were rescued from the flames. The fire had such headway when it was first discovered in the store scarcely anything was saved of the stock of goods. The fire wa3 thought to have been the work of an incendiary. It is the general opinion that the store was robbed of what things that could be easily taken away, and was then set on fire to prevent detection. It is thought that the inside of the store was thoroughly coal-oiled to make the burning more rapid and sure. Blood hounds were brought here ear ly Thursday morning, but they were unable to track the robbers. The house and stocks of goods were in sured to near the amount of $1,G00. Mr. Brown is in feeble health, and has the sympathy of the entire com munity. The Post office was opened Thursday morning in the old hotel building opposite the fire.

Do we appreicate it as such? And how shall we spend it? If you have been busily at work the past week you have earned a rest. Today furnishes the opportunity. If you have not been at work you have a good chance to ask yoursel f why and resolve to get busy the coming week. Has your conduct been such that the record of it would make a pleasant chapter to spread out for Sunday reading? Have you stopped in your mad rush after dollars to speak a word of cheer and comfort to a strug gling and weary pilgrim along the way? Have you put out your strong arm to lend support to a tottering and despondent fellow pilgrim? Have you thought to whisper sweet and comforting words to sad hearts, that are bleeding for sympahty and love? Have you once thought of the golden rule, and sought the blessings that follow its conscientious observance? It is a good time to meditate on these and similar thoughts, and to resolve to cut the bonds of selfiish ness that blind you, to turn away from the influence of corroding and cankering things, to take your heart and soul out where the light is bright, the atmosphere free and pure, and where the birds sing and the flowers bloom. of f usionists and the elimination of ne gro suffrage Abe dropped out of the public eye. Last week at a meeting of colored Odd Fellows in Salisbury Abe Middleton was an attendant and some of the white people who knew hirn questioned him about his pres ent condition. In reply he said: "I have been in politics most cf my life. I was first a voter and a worker in my own township, then -a committeeman from my precinct, rose to county committeeman, then congressional committeeman and finally a member of the State execu tive committee. Since we went out of politics, 1 have had more satisfac tion, have made money and enjoyed greater happiness than I ever did before. 1 wouldn't exchange my life now for ten political lives. I have a farm of 215 acres, work it with my own labor and am making money. There is no race problem in my neighborhood and I wouldn't swap off my white friends there for all the while people anywhere else."

To him who is penetrated by true principles even the briefest precept is sufficient, and common precept, to remind him that he should be free from greif and fear. For example, says Homer: "Leaves some the wind scatters on ground So is the race of men." Leaves are also thy children, and leaves, too, are they who cry out as if they were worthy of credit and bestow their praise or, on the con trary, curse or secretly blame and sneer, and leaves in like manner are those who shall receive and transmit a man's fame to aftertimes, for all such things as these "are produced in the season of springs," as the poet says. Then the forest produces oth er leaves in their places. But a brief existence is common to all things, and yet thou avoidest and pursuest all things as if they would be eternal. A little time, and thou shalt close thy eyes, and him who has attended thee to thy grave another soon will lament.
